Client Data
Data Collection
You can browse the website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us. IF you choose to provide us with personal information, you consent to the transfer and storage of that information to our servers located in the United States.
We may collect and store the following personal information:
- Email address, physical contact information;
- Correspondence through the website, and correspondence sent to us;
- Computer sign-on data, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the website, and ad data;
- Other information, including IP address and standard web log information.
Use and Disclosure
We don’t sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes except as described below. We may combine your information with information we collect from other companies (such as demographic data) to improve and personalize our services. If you don’t wish to receive marketing communications, simply Send us an email with your preference.
- We disclose information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, and providing customer service. These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party.
- We disclose information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property or our affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
- We disclose and transfer information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of our business, whether such acquisition is by way of a merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event we become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, we or our trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license, or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court. You will be notified of sale of all or a substantial portion of our business to a third party via email or through a prominent notice posted on the Accordare website.
When we indicate that we may share your data, we may share it with organizations that may be outside of the country where you are located. These countries may have different privacy protections than the country where you are located. When transferring your data, we use internationally recognized safeguards.
To better understand how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your personal data, including for our legitimate interests, continue reading our Privacy Statement below.
Protecting Your Personal Information
Our information security program
We have implemented an information security program consisting of physical controls (to limit the access to physical media and devices containing the information), technical controls (to limit on-line access to information), and administrative controls (to limit the people who have access to your information) to protect your information. The effectiveness of our security program is periodically audited allowing for improvements to be made.
Your role in protecting your information
As a user, you contribute to our security efforts by creating a user-id and password to access your information on our websites. Use unique numbers, letters, and special characters and do not disclose your Accordare password to anyone. Creating a strong, difficult to guess password enhances the security of your information. It is also recommended that you do not save your user-id and password on your computer or anyone else’s computer.
If you do share your password or your personal information with others, remember that you are responsible for all actions taken in the name of your account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personal information. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately notify Accordare and change your password.
Accessing and changing your personal information
You can see, review, and change all of your personal information by logging into the website. Generally, we will not manually modify your personal information because it is very difficult to verify your identity remotely. You should promptly update your personal information if it changes or is inaccurate. Once you make a public posting, you may not be able to change or remove it. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonable possibly, based on your account activity and in accordance with applicable law. We do retain personal information from closed accounts in order to comply with law, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
Cookies and Security
We use “cookies” (small files placed on your hard drive) on certain pages of the website to help analyze our web page flow, customize our services, measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. Cookies are required for user login to the website.
Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. It also identifies you for a user login. Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.
You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. However, if you decline a cookie from Accordare, it may interfere with your use of the website and you will not be able to login to see your user data.
Security
Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States. We treat data as an asset that must be protected and use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure. However, as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal information that they collect from the website. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
No Spam, Spyware, or Spoofing
We and our users do not tolerate spam. To report to us any Accordare-related spam or spoof, please forward the email to Accordare with a description of the problem.
You may not use our communication tools to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our User Agreement. We do not permanently store email messages sent through these tools. If you send an email to an email address that is not registered in our community, we do not permanently store that email or use that email address for any marketing purpose. We do not rent or sell these email addresses.
Do not track disclosure
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that allows you to tell a web site not to track you. Since these features are not all uniform, we do not currently respond to those signals. We do not currently respond to web browser “Do Not Track” signals that provide a method to opt out of the collection of information about online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.
